The Lester Randall Preaching Fellowship (LRPF) is the legacy of the leadership of three exceptional figures in the history of Yorkminster Park Church. The Rev. Dr. John N. Gladstone, who served as senior minister for 26 years from 1965–1991, dreamed of establishing a permanent fellowship to exalt the ministry of preaching. Gerard H. Collins believed in the dream and generously provided the funds in trust to make it happen. Lester C. Randall was an outstanding layman of this congregation and the wider church for whom the fellowship is named.
The first annual Lester C. Randall Preaching Fellowship was held in the fall of 1987 with the Rev. Dr. A. Leonard Griffith as the guest lecturer and preacher. For twenty-five years some of the finest preachers and teachers of the Word have been among the LRPF Fellows. Please see information on our past lecturers below.
In 2012, the organizing committee determined that it was time to reformat the event to better meet the changing needs of ordained clergy and the Church they serve. There was no conference held in 2012. However, during that time, the organizing committee was expanded to include clergy from multiple denominations and, in a commitment to continuing education, LRPF aligned itself with seminaries in across Canada and the United States. Starting in 2013, keynotes speakers, workshop leaders, private and public preaching events increased, and the more interactive lectures and workshops were added to the program, rounding out the vision of a robust and inspirational event.
